Check in with your favourite NHL hockey team with Foursquare

Maybe the National Hockey League saw the success that Jonathan Sinden was having with Foursquare and other social media tools. Jonathan is in charge of all things social media for the Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment empire which includes the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs.

Jonathan has been known to visit fans in their seats with a box of popcorn and a pop for people who "check in" to the Air Canada Centre during a Leafs game.

Yesterday, the NHL announced that they were dedicated to being on the social networking site full-time. According to their press release:

Throughout this season, fans who check-in at NHL venues will be able to access tips and facts featuring memorable moments in NHL history, as well as other unique content, discounts, incentives and rewards.

We're all about helping you find new ways to explore the city. We'll help you meet up with your friends and let you earn points and unlock badges for discovering new places, doing new things and meeting new people.
